Infernal Hordes Wave, Boon, and Reward Guide
Choose each Infernal Offering around enemies, events, and rewards the current build can actually handle. Treat all waves plus final spending as one complete run.
Check single target, area damage, and survival before entry. At each wave, read the benefit and danger of every Infernal Offering together. Do not stack modifiers the build cannot clear, and spend Burning Aether by goal at the end. Early exits are not full-reward comparisons.
